Summary

A modern quest for an ancient remedy.

If you enjoy a fast-paced, true story, Five Weeks in the Amazon is the book for you. It's an honest story filled with peaks of humor and valleys of despair. Author Sean Michael Hayes has written a book that many would put on their shelf next to Cheryl Strayed's blockbuster success, Wild. His adventure took him into the middle of the jungle alone, but Hayes' unique writing style makes the listener feel as though they are right there with him. Five Weeks in the Amazon is filled with Hayes' thoughtful solutions to many of the common problems we all share. Find out now if this Canadian backpacker uncovers the answers he searched for while living with a shaman in the Amazon jungle.

I found it badly written and shallow

I'm sorry, but I really had hopes for this book. Unfortunately I was disappointed. Although the subject of the book deals with a profound deep culture and spirituality, the style of writing and narration is shallow and lacking inspiration. Seems to be written by a teenager for a teenager audience. You won't learn anything new here. If you want to learn about ayahuasca and the culture it comes from try another one.
